A second group of Broadway musicals has returned to in-person performances, as New York’s stages begin to reopen and welcome back audiences after 18 months in the dark. Last night, Tony winners Chicago, Hamilton, The Lion King, and Wicked joined Waitress and Tony-winner Hadestown, which reopened September 2. Next up is Six, which begins previews September 17 in anticipation of an October 3 opening. The following week will see Come from Away and Little Shop of Horrors on September 21, Moulin Rouge! on September 24, and Aladdin on September 28.
Below are Hamilton creators Lin-Manuel Miranda and Alex Lacamoire (on keyboards) leading company members from the Broadway casts of Hamilton, The Lion King, and Wicked for a #Ham4Ham performance of the classic Kander & Ebb song “New York, New York” outside the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
